remember reading a write up about the FWD, RWD and AWD arguement. End conclusion was that all styles have their pros and cons, comes down to the driver and what they prefer.
I dont know much about cars, only that I like this and I like that for example I drove the Golf R32 and the Civic Type R (last year I think, may have been the year before) and I preferred the feel of the Civic. That's just me though.
End of the day, the economy is changing, people's views are changing and car companies are changing. Someone hit the nail on the head with us running out of fossil fuels and the ozone layer, hence car companies are trying to become greener. Even that Hyandi or however you spell it link for the Genesis said that they only expect to sell a couple thousand to the "younger crowd" i think they said. Aren't the car companies a business out to make money?
Cant please everyone.
Also believe Toyota is releasing a RWD sports car with the boxer engine.
